I guess I should tell livejournal too. So, I got dumped. I'm not very happy about it, but it was nonetheless one of the better breakups I've had and he's still a good guy and no one should hate him, even though I think he's lying about us still hanging out and being friends. Stages of Grief by Day: 1. Freaking the fuck out and crying a lot. Drinking. 2. Not eating and generally being mopey. Drinking. 3. Eating again out of a sense of necessity but still being pretty dang mopey. Probably still drinking. (This is today.) 4. Hoping this one will be "Everything is magically better hooray!" I think I'm gonna get my lip pierced at some point soon. I hadn't been because, well, when you're dating somebody you don't want to put your lips out of commission. Now getting holes jabbed in my face sounds awesome. |

This month has been hard, to say the least. First I had to spend pretty much all my savings on making my car work. Then my dear friend and coworker was killed. A hobo broke one of our windows at work. One of my boss' dogs died. I thought Jon was going to break up with me (he didn't; we're actually better than ever at this point). I have spent most of the month unbelievably stressed out. And yet, I still have a lot to be thankful for, and I really, truly am. I don't need to make a list of everything, but my life is pretty dang good, and I am extremely grateful for what I have, who I am, and the people around me. Being areligious, I'm not thankful to anything in particular, but I am thankful nonetheless. I continually try to make the best possible use of all the wonderful blessings I have, and I think I'm doing pretty well at this point. ... That said though, November can still suck my dick for all the aforementioned fuckery. |

http://www.sockdreams.com/weblog/2009/1 Lindsay was easily one of my favorite people at work; even besides being efficient as hell and someone I could count on to keep my section exactly as I like it, she was a delightful person to work with. She was always chipper and ready with a joke and a dance, and her loss will be sorely felt throughout Sock Dreams. I will miss my Dream Stockings Lieutenant and my very dear friend. I've heard her in the warehouse all day, making fun of me for being so damn mopey. I hope you're in a better place, Linds, and that you have many a field to frolic in and plenty of pillaging to do. Kick ass, woman. |

Jon is trying to put together a metal band (which is awesome). Facebook update: Jon got an awesome response from a prospective singer: "I will give you my eyes if I can sing with you." The enthusiasm is great, and sacrificing body parts is very metal. She gets a gold star in my book. IM conversation: Jon: I'm meeting singer in an hour and a half. feeling excited. me: Oooo nice. Do you have a jar for her eyes? Jon: tupperware- keeps them fresh longer :-) |

Got a better picture for you folks, courtesy of ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} b_zedan. It's kinda gross and crusty looking, due to being gross and crusty. Lotion is my best friend these days. There are a couple lines that didn't come out quite right, but my tattoo artist said that touchups are free, so I'll just have him fix 'em up next month when I'm healed. |

Friends and other lunatics, I now have ink embedded in my flesh. Apologies for the picture being all crappy and cameraphoney, but there it is, just after I got it. Today it is a bit less red round the edges. It is so goddamn cool and I am so happy. |

(At the Dunns' for dessert the other night.) Jon's Grandma: Laurie, those roses are beautiful! (To me) I particularly like roses because my maiden name is Rose. Laurie: Yes, if Jon had been a girl, his middle name would have been Rose. [His middle name is Loomis, which is Laurie's maiden name.] Me: Oh, my middle name is Rose! Grandma: (Beams!) Well that is just wonderful. Jon, you're going to have to do something about that! Jon and me: (Embarrass) Grandma: I can get away with stuff like that because I'm the grandma. :D [NOT EVEN KIDDING, SHE SAID THAT, HOW HILARIOUS IS SHE.] Anyway, god Amanda, shut up about your boyfriend already, nobody wants to hear it. |

One of the very best things about having dinner with Jon and his parents is that Jon's mom is absolutely fantastic about showing me all the best pictures of baby Jon, and telling me the most hilariously adorable baby Jon stories. Tonight's addition to that is that apparently when Jon was a little boy and very into dinosaurs (a phrase which may very well be redundant), apparently he pronounced "triceratops" as "tay-toppy-tops." Tay-toppy-tops. Seriously dudes, I laughed for like ten minutes straight. The fact that Jon takes this in stride and does not hate me or his mother after such episodes is yet another testament to how wonderful he is. |

I don't update very much anymore. Haven't really got anything to say. I mean, I could talk about my work, which I try not to do too often because it's either stuff I oughtn't share, or HEY GUYS BUY STUFF FROM MY WORK (which, for the record, you totally should). I could talk about how I am in a relationship with the best dude in the history of dudes, but uh, I kinda do that all the damn time and I'm pretty sure no one wants to hear it at this point. So. What do you want to hear about? Ask me anything. Not going for some weird anonymous sort of meme, just wondering if anyone wants to hear about anything in my life. I make no promises to answer everything, nor do I have any particular limits about the sort of questions I'm looking for. ARE YOU THERE LIVEJOURNAL? IT'S ME, AMANDATHEGREAT. |

I was stressed out yesterday. Then I went over to Jon's, and he gave me kisses and chocolate ice cream, and we watched The Importance of Being Earnest, and after that we had a discussion about Star Wars and how rad it would be if there were Bantha Jedi. Great boyfriend, or greatest boyfriend? |

me: Man it is your fault I am sick, jerkface. Daniel: no way what are you symptoms? me: Tons and tons of snot drooling out of my nose? Daniel: ...and? me: Sore throat, but that's probably the fault of the snot as well. I also just feel crappy. Daniel: look. that is nothing like what i had. me: Uh-huh. What did you have? Daniel: my eyes turned into lasers. (which SOUNDS cool, but it really just a pain in the ass) and my throat just left my body like, put in a hat, packed a suit case and was like, "fuck THIS, I'm out" and my nose started pouring delicious LEMONADE which I drank and gave to all my friends and they said, 'this is the best lemonade ever' "we wish you were always sick" and the all gathered around me and hugged me and for a moment... I wished I WAS always sick. |

me: One of my internet friends just posted an article about a dude who had his fifth-grader help him dispose of a hooker corpse. If that's not a great reason to have kids, I don't know what is. Jon: Does it tell on the back end how the kid told all his friends and his teacher the 'cool' thing he did last night and that's how the dude was caught? me: Yeah, that's pretty much how it went. Still though. If I had a dollar for every time I wished I had an extra pair of hands when I dispose of MY hooker corpses. Jon: True |
